Ecclesiastes 9
1 For, unto all this, I applied my heart, and, my heart, considered all this, that, the righteous and the wise and their servants, were in the hand of God, —neither love nor hatred, could any man know, every one, was before Him.
Ta pinanunotko amin ti maipapan iti daytoy tapno maawatak ti maipapan kadagiti nalilinteg ken nasisirib a tattao ken dagiti aramidda. Addada amin kadagiti ima ti Dios. Awan ti makaammo no ayat wenno gura ti umay iti maysa a tao.
2 Every one, was like every one else, one destiny, had the righteous and the lawless, the good and the pure and the impure, and he that sacrificed, and he that did not sacrifice, —as the good man, so, the sinner, he that took an oath, as he who, of an oath, stood in fear.
Adda ti agpapada a gasat iti tunggal maysa. Agpada a gasat ti agur-uray kadagiti nalinteg a tattao ken nadangkes, kadagiti nasayaat a tattao ken dakes, kadagiti nadalus ken ti narugit, ken iti agidatdaton ken iti saan nga agidatdaton. Kas matayto dagiti nasayaat a tattao, kastan to met ti managbasol. Kas matayto ti agsapsapata, kasta met ti tao a mabuteng nga agsapata.
3 This was a misfortune in all that was done under the sun, that, one destiny, had they all, —yea also, the heart of the sons of men, was full of wickedness, and, madness, was in their heart, while they lived, and, after that, [they went] unto the dead.
Adda ti dakes a gasat para iti amin a banag a maar-aramid iti baba ti init, maysa a panungpalan para iti tunggal maysa. Napno iti kinadakes dagiti puso dagiti tattao, ken adda ti kinamauyong kadagiti pusoda kabayatan nga agbibiagda. Isu a kalpasan dayta mapanda iti ayan dagiti natay.
4 For, whosoever was united to all the living, for him, there was hope, —inasmuch as, a living dog, fared better than a dead lion.
Ta adda pay laeng ti namnama para iti maysa a tao a sibibiag, kas iti sibibiag nga aso a nasaysayaat ngem ti natay a leon.
5 For, the living, knew that they should die, —but, the dead, knew not, anything, neither had they any longer a reward, because forgotten was their memory.
Ta ammo dagiti nabiag a tattao a mataydanto, ngem awan ti ammo ti natay. Awanen ti aniaman a magunggonada gapu ta nalipatanen dagiti pakalaglagipan kadakuada.
6 Both their love and their hatred and their envy, already had perished, —and, portion, had they none any longer, unto times age-abiding, in aught that was done under the sun.
Nagpukawen iti nabayag dagiti ayat, gura ken apalda. Awanton a pulos iti lugarda manen kadagiti aniaman a maar-aramid iti baba ti init.
7 Go thy way—eat, with gladness, thy food, and drink, with a happy heart, thy wine, —when already God is well pleased with thy works.
Inka iti dalanmo, kanem ti tinapaymo nga addaan iti rag-o, ken inumem ti arakmo nga addaan iti naragsak a puso, ta ipalpalubos ti Dios a marambakan dagiti nasayaat nga aramid.
8 Continually, let thy garments be white, —and, ointment upon thy head, let it not be lacking.
Kanayon koma a puraw dagiti kawesmo ken napulotan ti ulom iti lana.
9 Enjoy life, with thy wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity, —for, that, is thy portion in life, and in thy toil wherewith, thou, art toiling under the sun.
Makipagnaedka a siraragsak iti asawam a babai nga ay-ayatem kadagiti amin nga aldaw iti biagmo nga awan serserbina, dagiti aldaw nga inted ti Dios kenka iti baba ti init kabayatan dagiti aldaw ti kinaawan ti serbim. Dayta ti gunggonam iti biag para iti trabahom iti baba ti init.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, with thy might, do, —for there is no work nor calculation nor knowledge nor wisdom, in hades, whither, thou, art going. (Sheol h7585)
Aniaman a masarakan ti imam nga aramiden, aramidem daytoy babaen iti pigsam, gapu ta awan iti trabaho wenno pannakapalawag wenno pannakaammo wenno kinasirib idiay tanem, ti lugar a papanam. (Sheol h7585)
11 I again saw under the sun, that not, to the swift, was the race, nor, to the strong, the battle, nay! nor, to the wise, food, nor yet, to the intelligent, riches, nor, even to the well-informed, comeliness, —for, time and accident, happened to them all.
Nakakitaak kadagiti sumagmamano a makaay-ayo a banbanag iti baba ti init. Saan a kukua dagiti napapardas a tattao ti lumba. Saan a kukua dagiti napipigsa a tattao ti gubat. Saan a kukua dagiti nasisirib a tattao ti tinapay. Saan a kukua dagiti tattao nga addaan iti pannakaawat dagiti kinabaknang. Saan a kukua dagiti tattao nga addaan iti pannakaamo ti pabor. Ngem ketdi, apektaran amin ida ti tiempo ken gasat.
12 For, indeed, man could not know his own time, like fishes which were caught in a cruel net, and like little birds which were caught in a trap, —like them, were ensnared the sons of men, by a time of misfortune, when it fell upon them suddenly.
Ta awan ti makaammo ti tiempo ti pannakatayna, kas iti lames a naibalod iti iket ti patay, wenno kas kadagiti billit a nasiloan. Kas kadagiti ayup, nakabalod dagiti tattao kadagiti dakes a tiempo a kellaat a nagdissuor kadakuada.
13 Even this, had I seen of wisdom, under the sun, —and, of great import, was the same unto me: —
Nakitak pay ti kinasirib iti baba ti init iti wagas a kasla naindaklan kaniak.
14 A little city, and men therein few, —and there came against it a great king, and surrounded it, and built against it large siege-works;
Adda maysa a bassit a siudad nga addaan laeng ti sumagmamano a tattao, ket immay maibusor iti siudad ti maysa a nabileg nga ari ket rinautda daytoy ken nangipatakderda kadagiti dadakkel a sarikedked.
15 but there was found therein, a man, poor [but] wise, and, he, delivered the city by his wisdom, —yet, no one, remembered that poor man.
Ita, adda nasarakan iti dayta a siudad a maysa a marigrigat, a nasirib a tao, a babaen iti kinasiribna ket naisalakan ti siudad. Ngem ti saan a nagbayag, awanen ti makalagip iti dayta met laeng a marigrigat a tao.
16 Then said, I, Better is wisdom than strength, —although, the wisdom of the poor man, be despised, and, his words, not heard.
Isu a kinunak, “Nasaysayaat ti kinasirib ngem ti kinapigsa, ngem naumsi ti kinasirib ti marigrigat a tao ken saan a nangngeg dagiti sasaona.”
17 The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard, —beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards.
Dagiti sasao ti nasirib a tao a naibaga a siuulimek ket ad-adda a mangngeg ngem ti pukkaw ti maysa a mangiturturay kadagiti maag.
18 Better is wisdom, than weapons of war, —but, one sinner, may destroy much good.
Nasaysayaat ti kinasirib ngem kadagiti igam ti gubat, ngem mabalin a dadaelen ti maysa a managbasol ti adu a kinaimbag.
